Comrade Corbychev's Cock-Ups

I cringed when I,learned Griffin was turning to labour, yet at the beginning of the week I posted that Hope not Hate said there was not one candidate in the May elections from the BNP, I wondered wher they would go.

I was following up on Day6's satire. She didn't quote exactly either. My 'paraphrasing' was a bit more accurate

I do not claim to understand finance but "Grandad1943* says

"The Tory MP had said that Russia should be “hit financially” over the Skripal poisoning."

and then goes on to explain JRM is a shareholder in a Russian bank. Doesn't this mean that his own shareholding will be adversely affected?

From The New Statesman

The former leader of the British National Party, self-declared “lifelong white rights fighter” and all-round grotesque has-been Nick Griffin has found a new political project to funnel his bile into

The Labour Party

So, will Corbyn want to sit down with a cup of tea with the detestable Griffin too?

"In a tweet, he has threatened to vote Labour for the first time in his life, because somewhere along our bizarre political spectrum, Jeremy Corbyn’s reticence about condemning the Syrian president Bashar al-Assad for a chemical attack killing dozens of his own people has chimed with Griffin’s own worldview."

There is that word again "reticence", applied once more to Corbyn.

No one wants war, no one wants violence, but my vote goes to the politicians who will condemn foreign leaders using chemical weapons and stand up for the rights of people suffering, no matter where they are.

True lemon.

Grandad, you can try to divert the thread all you like with your references to JRM, but to be honest you seem to be desperately scraping the barrel and all you are doing is telling us you're not a Conservative voter - as if we didn't know that already.

How about defending one of your Labour comrades, the leader of the party - if you can? He needs all the help he can get.

Being endorsed by Nick Griffin isn’t something that anybody should want!

He has plenty of Russian money to mount a good campaign.

The membership of the Conservative party is now so low that the right wing of the party could well get Jacob Rees-Mogg elected as leader. After all they would not need that many votes to achieve that.

niggly, not a chance of him being leader but , do not laugh, I like his voice ?

Nick Griffin is another Holocaust denier, vile man

I do too Annie. Not sure that voice will bring in the punters though!!!?

I read that too Baggs. It just seems pretty crazy to me that on the same day the LP of Israel cuts off Corbyn he's endorsed by Nick Griffin. It's like watching a satire. I would have really laughed if I'd seen it on Not the 9 o'clock News 40 years ago.

niggly, I like J R M, ?

Corbyn went underground during the referendum campaign, no tv interviews, no part in the tv debates, selected halls to speak in, selected by Momentum, followed by one tv programme where he faced questions before a young, invited audience ! At least Kate Howey was honest, so lay blame with all who wanted out not with some.

By the way nigglynellie, the last reference I made to a Concervative MP was Benn Bradley another wonderful character who believes that unemployed men should have vasectomies to stop them claiming child benefit on the state, which is among other wonderfully thoughts he has

Because he is tipped as the next leader, a senior and very influential backbencher, one of the Conservative Brexit MP who got this country into the position it is in now on leaving Europe. Along with all the foregoing he is a far bigger hypocrite than any member of the Labour party.

Will that do for starters.

Grandad you seem obsessed about J.RM!! Everything you post seems to come back to him. He's not in the government and probably never will be so why this constant reference to him ?!!

Well, in regard to hypocrisy then the conservative party most certainly holds the biggest of them. Below is a report from RT media.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has been accused of hypocrisy after details of Russian profits from his fund-management firm were revealed. The Tory MP had said that Russia should be “hit financially” over the Skripal poisoning.

Rees-Mogg is a co-founder, director and shareholder of Somerset Capital Management (SCM) – an investment management firm which specializes in emerging markets. SCM confirmed it runs a fund with a stake worth up to £60 million ($84 million) in Russia’s largest bank, Sberbank. The MP profits from the bank – through his position as a shareholder – that has been a target of EU sanctions since 2014.

The news sparked outrage on social media, with users racing to blast the Conservative as“hypocritical”and"arguably the stupidest man in parliament.”

yggdrasil, what you say would be much more convincing (that is, it might actually be convincing) if you quoted, word for word, what the people you are paraphrasing actually said. As it is, you are writing down what is your interpretation of what was said. Your interpretation may be perfectly correct but there is no way for us to check if you don't quote what people said.

They invited him to their Holocaust museum and he refused, so much for talking to both sides

The Labour Party in Israel has written to tell Jeremy Corbyn that they cannot "retain relations" with him because of his weak response to anti-Semitism in the British Labour Party.

Primrose, I know you don't want to look yourself because it doesn't suit your narrative. One example: In letter to Theresa May in December 2016, Corbyn wrote: “The international legal system was born from the ashes of World War Two to militate against the recurrence of such atrocities yet this is effectively being dismantled in Syria. The rules of war are being broken on all sides".
“Labour has long condemned all attacks on civilian targets, including those by Russian and pro-Syrian government forces in Aleppo, for which there can be no excuse. We strongly believe that those responsible for violations of International Humanitarian Law in Aleppo and more widely in Syria should be held to account.”

Posters who are calling for military action (despite the certain knowledge that Western military interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya have had consequences which remain to this day utterly disastrous) - how do you justify it?

alternatively :-

Corbyn : Prime minister, don't you think you should have some proof before shouting at Putin

Theresa May via the Daily Mail. You are a traitor not to agree with anything I say

Putin: I didn't do it . Where's your proof?

Boris: The man at Porton Down told me for certain

Man at Porton Down: err we didn't actually

Corbyn : Prime minister, don't you think you should have some proof before trying to push Putin into WW3

Putin: plays tit for tat with ambassadors, then gets on with establishing himself in Syria

I know lovecheese That's why I don't think it's evidence of a 'constructive and proactive opposition to the Assad regime'. Especially when the EDMs are not about Assad.
